Reply to comment by Dennyisthepisslord in Apple and Major League Soccer announce MLS Season Pass launches February 1, 2023 by Saar13

I said it's not much for Apple. It's a loss that wouldn't matter to them, but it's an excellent financial deal for MLS. MLS has a younger audience than other leagues. They will easily migrate to streaming. The league is still weak (in terms of technical quality), but they are improving and soccer should get a buzz in America with the 2026 World Cup

Yeah it's already got pretty good crowds on a world level too. Obviously it's got over 100 years of history to overcome with the big leagues. The next step is for it to sign south American prospects before they go to Europe to make big money on transfers. That final the other day was all over Twitter in the UK as it was a crazy game. There's potential there.
